I was having problems with the accelorator pump in the carb so I got a rebuild kit and then with a new kit in the carb it wouldn't idle. So I bought a new 2g 2 barrel carb and it's better but I can still see gas dripping into the venturi's at idle. What am I missing here? The idle is around 700 rpm and the acceleration is good for this combo but the extra gas dripping in the carb is causing small backfires thru the headers when I lift the pedal. Should it be time I bought a rochester book and start looking at the pictures? Thanks.

Check the fuel pressure. It should be about 4-5 lbs. Check for vacuum leaks. It may have the gaskets under the discharge nossels leaking. If is a reman. carb about half of them arn,t any good. you may have to return it.  They say money can't buy happiness. It can buy old Chevy trucks though.
